October Check-In

October 23rd, 2021 at 03:10 am

My investments are almost back to the high of September 6th. Today they stand at $1,300,918 which is almost my entire net worth with the addition of my car & cash savings. 

I applied for a PRN position (you knew I couldn't stay away from a second job for long!), but turned it down when they told me the per diem rate, which was the same rate I was paid in 2008. You'd think with all these healthcare shortages that they would up there rate.

This past Saturday I did some OT at my hospital and that rate is more than twice the per diem I was offered. Our ENW supervisor, who is desperately short-staffed, asked me to work as much as I could so it looks like I'll be pulling some OT. One good thing about my promotion is that by losing my supervisory status I can make time and a half overtime, whereas I used to just get comp time. I am always in use or lose territory with my annual leave by the end of the year, so I don't really need to earn more time. 

I am setting into my new apartment. Furniture keeps trickling in & I am doing a little updating in my decor. I had some rowdy upstairs neighbors, but after a few complaints it looks like they have settled down. The leasing agent said she would contact the dad. I guess that worked. It's super annoying to be kept on weeknights by kids who have their daddy to pay their rent. The rest of us have to get to work in the morning!

    That's crazy that the salary is the same was 2008. I wonder if they just want to yell about the shortages and not truly do anything to resolve them.

    What’s crazy is that the in-house agency is paying almost triple the PRN rate. If only they would raise the pay of regular workers & per diem workers they would have more stability. They did offer me more if I committed to working PT, or 24 hours a week, but I didn’t want to make that commitment. Anyway, I’ll do a lot better working OT at the hospital so I guess it’s all for the best.
